Excited/Nervous About Potential Job!

I had a Big Important Job Interview on Friday and I didn't mention it on the boards because I was sort of freaking out about it.

It was for a production assistant position at a major radio network. The interview went phenomenally; by far one of the best and easiest interview experiences I'd ever had. The interviewer (the vice president/editorial director) spent an hour with me, talking, chatting (he mentioned he'd read my blog, you guys! And he said he "really liked" it! He said my writing style - which he called "fun and casual" - was what they were looking for!) and showing me around the studios. The hours are reasonable, the pay is what I'm looking for and the benefits are decent.

When I left, he told me he had several people to consider, and he would take the weekend to come to a decision and let me know early next week. It was the first time in a long time that I walked out of an interview feeling excellent.

He emailed me today asking me for contact information for 3 professional references. I gave him 4 just in case, because one of my good references is also notoriously hard to get in touch with. This is a good sign, right?

I'm just feeling really nervous and excited. I don't want to get my hopes up because this job is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I'm afraid if I don't get it I'll fall back into my depression. Anyone got any soothing words?

    B, this is so exciting! It sounds like you've got a really good shot at this!

    If you don't get it, don't worry--it'll be because this wasn't the right job, and something even better is on its way to you. Someone told me that a while back, when I was having major man issues, and less than a month later, I met BF. So it''s true, I promise!

    About depression...I read in an article once that when you get depressed, it's because you're facing a decision. So if you don't get it, keep looking, keep moving, distract yourself, DO things.

    Good luck! ::sends vibes::

    Bella, I'm so excited for you! I hope it works out. If it doesn't, just remind yourself that you are a really strong candidate, and you did make a great impression. Even if this isn't the right time, they may need someone else down the road.

    Bside...I'm so excited for you! So far it sound very promising. What a fantastic opportunity. They're probably just taking the weekend to find a way to tell the other applicants they weren't as good. Keep us updated!
